Daito Manabe: Electronic Facial Contortionist
Posted by Ross Rosenberg
Daito Manabe’s newest art piece uses a machine which turns music into electrical pulses. By slapping electrodes on his face these pulses cause the muscles to twitch and jerk in a painful looking dance of contorted expressions. I’m not sure what the goal is here, but I would be lying if I said I didn’t find it fascinating to watch.

That’s disturbing footage, but I’m pretty sure you’ve got the story wrong. What we’re seeing here is the effects of Manabe resisting the alien worm impregnating his skull.

What’s really creepy is that it looks like this was done in the guy’s house. This guy has weird (and .. awesome) hobbies.
